Bronya Had Officially Left the World Bubble and Come Here?
While Liuge had fallen asleep, Bronya, who was in Belobog, had already arrived in the Upper District with March 7th and the others.
Because Liuge had explained the situation to Serval in advance.
The moment they arrived, they saw Gepard walking toward them.
March 7th immediately summoned her bow, looking ready to fight at any moment.
But in the next moment, Gepard's words left everyone stunned.
"Everyone, please come with me. The Supreme Guardian and Lady Bronya have just left City Hall and headed toward Everwinter Hill."
"Huh? What's going on?"
March 7th was a little bewildered.
What kind of development was this?
"Huh? You didn't know?"
Gepard was also slightly taken aback. He then looked over the group and noticed that one person seemed to be missing.
"It's like this..."
As he spoke, Gepard repeated what Liuge had told his older sister.
Since it was more or less exactly as Liuge had described, Gepard did not stop them at the Iron Guard Restricted Zone like in the original story. Instead, following his older sister Serval's arrangements, he led them quickly toward Everwinter Hill to stop Cocolia.
"Liuge..."
March 7th looked around but did not spot that annoying guy.
"Damn it, where did that guy go at a time like this?"
"My cousin already contacted me. He isn't on this planet anymore."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Both March 7th and Dan Heng froze.
The four of them had come down together, yet one of them had gone straight into outer space?
"I don't know either. When I met up with him earlier, he just disappeared right in front of me."
Hearing Bronya's words, March 7th and Dan Heng were both stunned.
As for Stelle, she stroked her chin in deep thought.
After a while, she was the first to reach a conclusion.
"Liuge got transferred again!"
"Huh?"
March 7th looked utterly confused, while Dan Heng understood what Stelle meant.
"March, Stelle means Liuge was transferred again, just like when he arrived at the Space Station."
That clear explanation gave March 7th her answer.
For a moment, March 7th did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"What kind of ability is that? How can Liuge get transferred whenever he wants?"
March 7th then took out her terminal and sent Liuge a message.
March 7th: Liuge, where the heck are you now?
But after waiting for a while, March 7th did not receive even a single reply.
"Don't tell me that guy fell asleep."
March 7th curled her lips, but she still turned to Gepard.
"Um, Commander Gepard, is it really okay for us to just walk there?"
"Probably...?"
Gepard hesitated as well, but this was what his older sister had told him—to bring March 7th and the others over a little later.
"My older sister is waiting for the Supreme Guardian at Everwinter Hill right now. It should be fine."
"Come on, let's hurry up."
Driven by March 7th's impatient personality, she immediately quickened her pace.
Since they had not been delayed as they were in the original story, the group soon reached Everwinter Hill.
But the instant they arrived—
Gepard saw Serval lying unconscious off to one side, as well as Cocolia and Land Duck beneath the Creation Engine, being bewitched.
"Bronya!"
Seeing this, Seele could no longer stay still.
After clearing up their misunderstandings in Rivet Town, their relationship had soared to the level of close friends.
The moment Seele saw Bronya being seduced by the Stellaron, she was the first to charge forward with her scythe.
But in the next instant, something happened that no one expected: Bronya raised the rifle in her hands and fired a shot directly at the Stellaron.
Though the sudden attack did not damage the Stellaron, its defensive mechanism reacted immediately.
A powerful shockwave surged directly toward Bronya.
With a bang, Bronya was sent flying backward.
Seeing this, Seele caught Bronya in midair. Looking at Bronya, who had instantly fallen unconscious in her arms, Seele Without a Surname was very angry.
But someone moved even faster than she did: Stelle.
Stelle had already rushed forward with her bat in hand.
Seeing Stelle approach, Cocolia swept her spear. Dense ice spikes formed out of thin air and shot rapidly toward Stelle.
Stelle did not pause in the slightest. Her bat swung again and again, smashing the ice spikes to pieces with sheer force.
But Cocolia, who had already accepted the Stellaron's power, now had four crystalline ice lances floating around her, and her body rose into the air.
Watching Cocolia float upward, Bronya gave a sly smile.
Her fingers tapped rapidly across the interface generated by her abilities.
The next moment, the Creation Engine's massive palm swung out.
It slapped the completely unprepared Cocolia flying.
"???" Stelle
"???" March 7th
"???" Seele Without a Surname
"???" Gepard
The sudden turn of events left everyone present dumbfounded.
What was this? They had been fighting perfectly well, then the Gundam suddenly moved and slapped her?
Cocolia, who had been sent flying, was not feeling too great either. She felt as though that slap had nearly knocked her internal organs out.
If the Stellaron's power had not cushioned the blow, she might have already passed out.
"Damn it! Why are you stopping me?! My plan is clearly the most perfect one!"
Cocolia flew back again. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and stared intently at everyone.
But she seemed not to notice Stelle not far beneath her, quietly raising her bat like Kagura preparing to ambush Orb's human host from behind.
"Answer me!!!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Cocolia let out an enraged roar.
At that very instant, Stelle sprang upward, bringing down the bat she had held aloft for so long onto the back of Cocolia's head.
"Fall!"
Along with Stelle's shout, Cocolia turned around.
Her head buzzed, but she still controlled an ice lance and drove it through Stelle's chest.
"Stelle!"
March 7th cried out in alarm, and the arrow in her hand flew out at the same time.
But at that instant, a small figure darted straight toward the Stellaron at the side.
Before everyone's astonished eyes, she grabbed the Stellaron floating in midair.
Then something even more shocking happened.
The instant that figure came into contact with the Stellaron, it seemed to sense something and actually merged into Bronya's body of its own accord.
"Bronya!!!"
March 7th and Dan Heng stared at the scene in utter disbelief.
At the very moment Bronya approached, effortlessly seized the Stellaron, and absorbed it into her body, they seemed to see an ice-blue figure wearing a crown, one that resembled an emperor...
At the same time, Liuge, aboard the Minghuo Merchant Guild's merchant ship, suddenly opened his eyes.
Your clone, Haxxor Bunny, has obtained the Stellaron and used its power to reshape herself, becoming an independent individual! As Haxxor Bunny has become the independent individual Bronya! Returned stat-stick clone Character Stat-Stick cards: Haxxor Bunny, Aether Edit, Visual Enhancement, and more...
"What the hell? Bronya became an independent individual?"
"Wait, if these stat-sticks have been returned, does that mean I can still transform into Haxxor Bunny? In other words... counting my transformation, there are now two Haxxor Bunnies?!"
At that thought, Liuge inexplicably wondered what kind of reaction the noob player Silver Wolf would have when facing two gaming pros.
Even Though She Was Independent, the Link Still Existed!
Although Liuge was surprised that Haxxor Bunny had become an independent individual—
he could feel that aside from the stat-sticks being returned, the connection between him and Haxxor Bunny had not been severed.
"Young Master, what happened just now?"
Seeing Liuge suddenly faint and then wake up again, Tingyun poured him a cup of water.
"Thanks!"
Liuge took the water, drank a small sip, and smiled at Tingyun.
"How should I put it? My brain was running a little too fast. This pig brain overloaded!"
Liuge said it casually.
Tingyun looked completely confused.
No, you aren't a Dimensional Piggy! How could your pig brain overload?!
Though you really did suddenly appear like a piggy.
"Young Master truly loves to joke."
Tingyun covered her mouth and chuckled. Her flirtatious demeanor nearly made Liuge lose his composure.
Well, well, no wonder she's the little fox who keeps calling people benefactor.
She was already so soul-stirring in the game, but now that she's real, I nearly couldn't hold myself back.
"Miss Tingyun, where are we headed?"
Liuge looked curiously at the large ship, which was steadily moving forward without the slightest sway.
"My little merchant convoy has completed its delivery task and is currently on the return journey."
"Return journey?"
Before you continue
